Join an extreme of airport wireless network a/c

I have a brand new a/c bought Airport Extreme just before Christmas that I expected to use to reach my a/c current wireless network, however the installation options do not work on OS x and IOS. For clarity, I did create a quick screen recording and put on youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wD3S48IAXz8 , of the installation failure... is it a broken product or has apple silently deleted the possibility of using the extremes of the airport?

My approach is this:

Step 1: force the update of the firmware to 7.7.3 (corrupt snack)

Step 2: reset (everyone on the forums to talk about this)

Step 3: try to join a network, no tool, not even an airport IOS tool won't let me

Any help is appreciated!

AirPort Extreme can "extend" the wireless network produced by another router from Apple... but the "expand" function will work with 3 third-party products.

AirPort Extreme could be able to 'join' a wireless network from Apple... even though it really doesn't do anything when it does, because the only thing that works is the USB port... but it will not 'join' a 3rd party network.

The AirPort Express, which is used for AirPlay was designed to "join" virtually any wireless network.

Maybe if you could tell us what you want AirPort Extreme to do on your network, we can offer you a solution... but it will almost certainly involve an Ethernet wired, permanently to the 3rd router part.

  • Problem of AirPort Extreme with AirPort Express network expansion

    I have a dual-band Airport Extreme 802.11n that I bought in 2012 which is currently my home wireless network. I am trying to extend the network with a new AirPort Express with the AirPort 6.3.6 utility running OS 10.11 on an iMac. The Airport Express appears in the option other Wi - Fi devices. When I select it, AirPort utility tries to connect and then I get this message "an unexpected error has occurred. Try again. "Try again does not lead to a different result, and I can't seem to find useful information in the documents support or conversations. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    It should be easy enough to operate the express, but you must tell us all the info.

    Configure the Express in the same room as the extreme.

    Using wireless to expand? Then you simply plug power in the Express... and it should pretty much automatically connect to the extreme.

    If you want to extend through ethernet, you should connect the Express in the extreme and make sure that the configuration of the airport utility selects extend by wire.

    If the Mac does not work you have the iphone or ipad and use Airport utility for iOS... it tends to be more reliable.

    Still no luck does your Mac have port ethernet... in this case, you can plug it into the computer with ethernet and try again... more wireless implementation looks like sawing off the branch to that which you are sitting.

  • Airport Express - to extend the wireless network

    Hello

    I have 1 Airport Extreme, make a wireless network and I have 3 Airport Express, to extend the network.

    the Airport Express Terminal 2 have connection whit Airport Extreme. The last of them is too far. The last of them can connect to one of the Airport Express 2 located in Pentecost Airport Extreme connection to expand further?

    Sorry, but no.  The distant Express which is too far can connect to one of expresses it airport who are already extending the network... so that it can be used for AirPlay or to connect a USB printer. .. .but the distant Express cannot "extend" the wireless network and provide additional wireless coverage.

    Ideally, your network could have AirPort Extreme, placed in a central location in the House, and each Express which extends the network would be located approximately the same distance from AirPort Extreme... and... ACH Express would be closer to the AirPort Extreme to another Express.

    If this is not possible, then you need to look at a wired Ethernet cable solution for at least one of the Express features, or an Ethernet Powerline solution if you cannot run the Ethernet cable.

  • Impossible to extend the AirPort Extreme wireless network

    I have a wireless network set up with a time Capsule airport 4th generation.  I'm trying to take my old AirPort Extreme wireless 3rd generation. I have double. Kettle has implemented, but I get the status message on the extreme that it cannot extend the network.  I can get a strong signal on my iPhone from the point that I have placed extreme itching so I'm close enough to the time Capsule.

    Could I use a connection by current bearer through my home wiring to the extreme and extend it like that?

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Please follow these steps closely and report on your results.

    Power off time Capsule airport.

    Wait 10 to 15 seconds

    Power up Time Capsule airport

    Reset the AirPort Extreme back to default factory

  • Please let know us if it is practical to use Airport Extreme to extend the network wireless in a big house.

    I suspect that an original device connected to the modem cable... an intermediate device... and there should be a final device in a place further from the original device. I note that tech online article does talk to a wireless network using the 802.11ac signal. Would be grateful for advice on the feasibility of this. I currently have a Time Capsule, Airport Extreme connected my cable modem. I have a ~ 6 600 feet at home with the press on the 2nd story room and the other end of the House.

    You can use Airport Express to extend wireless created by an AEBS. If the AEBS is a model of turn then it supports 802.11ac, but most dishes are not. New the AEX take in charge 802.11ac, but it is of little use if the AEBS model is not.

  • Airport extreme will reconnect not extended wireless network

    The power to my Airport Express (2nd version; 802.11n) has been inadvertently disconnected and it does not now restore for extended wireless network.  I have an Airport Extreme (802.11ac) that hosts the network.  I have soft, hard, and factory resets to the Express.  Airport utility says that an "unexpected error occurred, try again."  I have, over and over again.  Airport utility finds the Express after a reset.  After initial connect failure, I brought the two devices in the same room.  Should I reset the extreme as well and start over?  V10.11.3 OS X, v. 6.3.6 Airport utility.  Thanks for your help.

    At this point, I would say that you make the Express in the same room as the extreme. Go ahead and perform a reset on the only default Express. Wait for it to finish.

    You should now be able to 'see' the Express in the list menu drop-down airport the two OS X menu bar and on your Mac AirPort Utility. In the menu bar is should appear as something like Apple network NNNNNN. It should appear as a Terminal AirPort Express, AirPort Utility.

    If you get the message "unexpected error", check the following on your Mac:

    • Make sure that IPv6 is configured for: link-local only. You can find this setting in system preferences > network > advanced > Ethernet or Wi - Fi (according to your Mac is connected to the network) > configure IPv6
    • If your Mac is connected to the extreme by Ethernet, activate the Wi - Fi connector in system preferences > network

  • Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

    I got a modem Comcast/Xfinity upgrade. Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router on a network, AirPort Extreme will be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work properly with the new modem. For this he would be...

    Turn on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes... If it is not already turned on

    Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 7-8 seconds, then release it.

    Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Make sure that an Ethernet cable connects to one of the four LAN <-->Ethernet ports on the modem/router on port WAN "O" on AirPort Extreme

    To start the Setup program, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station

    Just below that, click directly on the AirPort Extreme and then follow the prompts for configuration "Wizard".

    When you configure AirPort Extreme once again, you can use the same wireless network name and the same password that you used with AirPort Extreme with the 'old' modem, if you wish, or use a new wireless network name and password

  • Four express airport Wireless extends through the other, instead of directly through my airport extreme

    Hello

    I have a small question which I hope someone can help me with.

    I have an airport extreme that I use as base station, and since I live in a big house, I extended wireless network with four Airport express devices. I put express devices from the airport in mode "expand the network."

    The question I have is that two of the expresses correctly connects directly to the Airport extreme, but the two other go via the two expresses first and not directly to the airport extreme base station.

    I am worried that I have will lose speed because of this and wondered if I can implement all the features four Airport express way so they all connect directly to the base station and not by the other?

    Any advice would be appreciated - thanks.

    I am worried that I have will lose speed because of this and wondered if I can implement all the features four Airport express way so they all connect directly to the base station and not by the other?

    Apple "extend a wireless network" feature works on the strength of the signal, so the ideal situation would be to have AirPort Extreme, located within your home with each Airport Express located approximately the same distance from the AirPort Extreme around the perimeter of the House.

    Think of a 4-spoke wheel. AirPort Extreme would be the "hub" in the center of the wheel and located at the end of a ray separated from each AirPort Express Terminal. In this way, each AirPort Express connects directly to the 'hub' and expand properly.

    The question I have is that two of the expresses correctly connects directly to the Airport extreme, but the two other go via the two expresses first and not directly to the airport extreme base station.

    The two airport expresses which connect to other expresses 'extension' of the network are not all. They 'join' the network... so they could be used for AirPlay or a printer USB remote... but the Express do not 'extends' the network when he "joined".

    You will need to experiment with different places until you see all four expresses connect directly to the main AirPort Extreme.

    As loss of speed in the network is... whenever you try to extend wireless network, nearly half of the potential speed on the network will be lost in the process. It's just a character of the beast to the extension of a wireless network.

    You can avoid the loss of speed in the network by configuring each AirPort Express Terminal to connect to the main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection. There is no loss of speed at all through the connection Ethernet cable up to 300 + feet, so full power is stored on the network when you do it this way.

    Hello

    At the moment is have this setup at home.

    DSL-> provider Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule

    The airport Time Capsule is the generation model current 5th A1470 of running in mode Bridge with the router form my provider and implements a wireless network. It all works very well, but in my office working there WiFi coverage is a little low is a desire to grow with another airport.

    This is the configuration of the construction:

    DSL-provider of Modem/Router-> LAN-> airport of Time Capsule-> LAN-> Airport Extreme >

    Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in Bridge Mode and extend the wireless network. When I perform this configuration, the problems start. All devices bad connection to the internet, features are added several times on the network (also the Airport express are added some time because it appears with a (2) after East), in Airport utility, I get constantly disconnected status and it is very difficult to resolve, because I lose the connection even if I'm hard wired to the airport. I can also access devices that have a static IP address as the same router (192.168.1.1) or my home server. Thus, it seems that my local network is malfunctioning.

    When I unplug the Airport Extreme, everything works well again. I searched but not found this problem.

    Thanks for the help.

    Airport Extreme is the generation model 1408 5th also running in bridge and extend wireless networkMode.

    You can NOT extend wireless with the AE plugged into the TC.

    Your choice of plug in ethernet is good.

    Your wireless installation must be to create a wireless network... you can use the same name as the TC's wireless or different... It is totally up to you.

    What you did is due to a loop with the connection by both wireless and ethernet.

    If you want to use extend wireless... much slower option... then you disconnect the ethernet AE of the TC... If the connection is purely wireless.

  • Samsung wireless surround does not work with Airport wifi network

    I have a smart tv with a Soundbar and wireless - all Samsung two speakers. I should be able to set up surround sound via the network wireless like this http://support-us.samsung.com/cyber/popup/iframe/pop_troubleshooting_fr.jsp?idx= 629802 & modelname = WAM7500 & modelcode = WAM7500/ZA

    It works fine when it connects to the router provided by my ISP sky. But when I try to do the same when connecting to the network created by the airport, it won't work no-more precisely, I'm unable to select "link Multiroom' (step 19 in the link above).

    Note: There is no problem connecting to the wifi network - it's this last step which is the issue.

    Any ideas as to why this may be the case?  I need to use the extended network of the Hub of sky wifi is very low when the TV is.

    Here is the configuration...

    Router-> Airport Extreme-> Airport Express-> TV + Surround Sound

    (Airport extreme is the bridge mode value and the expansion of the wifi network Express).

  • Airport Extreme with AC wireless D-Link dongle

    Does anyone know the best Setup for this configuration?  I'm running the extreme last, among other airports, and I'm trying to connect on the side of the 5 g AC with a mid 2009 unibody MBP running El Capitan and a usb wifi interface D-Link DWA - 182 c 1200 AC. After months of searching for a working driver, I came finally on the Asus Wireless Network Utility, which works, but seems to want only to connect to the part of 2.4 g of my extreme, although I got it to connect AC, but only randomly.  I wonder if the network or dongle interface utility is smart enough to get a USB3 port which is not my old MBP, or if it's just a configuration problem.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I met finally of the Asus Wireless Network Utility, which works, but seems to want only to connect to the part of 2.4 g of my extreme, although I got it to connect AC, but only randomly.  I wonder if the network or dongle interface utility is smart enough to get a USB3 port which is not my old MBP, or if it's just a configuration problem.

    It seems that the latest driver for this USB adapter has been updated to work with OS X 10.7. I guess that's the reason why you are not able to configure the 801.11 AC adapter.

  • Create wireless network with airport Time Capsule

    I replace my ISP provider rented the modem / router with a modem, I bought and I would use my gen current airport Time Capsule to set up the wifi network. I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

    I am running OS X Capitan 10.11.3 on an early 2015 MacBook Pro.

    Thank you!

    I can't find the instructions on how to proceed and AirPort Extreme do not seem to apply.

    Hmm.  A time Capsule is an AirPort Extreme with a built-in hard drive, so what works for one should work for the other and vice versa. You might be looking at old operating instructions?

    Since you've decided to add a new modem, Time Capsule will be reset back to the default settings and then set it up again to work with the new modem.  Apple installation "wizard" will guide you in installing the time Capsule, by appointing a wireless network, set up a password, etc, so the process is very easy to name.

    The installation provided with your Time Capsule Guide goes on how to set up the time Capsule.

    After resetting the time Capsule to factory default settings, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the modem into the "O" on the Time Capsule WAN port.

    To get the "Assistant" Setup running, just click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen of the Mac and are looking for the new AirPort base station. Just below that, click directly on the Time Capsule.  The example below shows an AirPort Extreme, but you would see on your screen time Capsule.

    When you click on the Time Capsule, the next screen that is displayed looks like this, except that you will see a picture of a Capsule of time on your screen.

    Simply click next to get the process going and follow the instructions.

  • Several airports of different generation, providing a wireless network

    We have all of these devices in our home airport, both extreme and Express. Some are 802.11n, some are 802.11 g, draft 802.11n, and 802.11 ac. I can give them all the same wireless SSID to create a seamless network, right? Would it not an issue in my case because they use different wireless standards?

    In case you wonder why we have so much, our house walls block radio signals (not by design), so a station can usually cover only a very small area.

    If all airports will be connected by Ethernet, you can configure all to use the same name of the wireless network, the same level of wireless security and the same wireless network password. All airports except perhaps the "main" airport will have to be configured to run in Bridge Mode works correctly.

    The old "802.11 b/g' airport cannot be configured using one of the newer operating systems on a Mac like El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, etc."  You will need a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard to be able to put in place the former unit of the airport.

    The real problem you may have is that most of the devices will automatically switch from one airport to another since they change the situation around the House.  Portable Mac computers will usually do a very good job, but mobile devices as iPhone, iPad, tablets, PCs, etc. won't do this very well... If they all.

    So you will have to get used to temporarily disable WiFi on most of the devices when they change location... then turning back on WiFi so the unit will come hope that the signal from the nearest airport.
